In other countries when they teach children to speak English they teach them British English not American English. So the kids are going to be learning English with the British accent. Also, there were a lot of British colonies all around the world so people living in those countries are speaking with the English accent. So it is completely normal to me to hear non white people with British accents.
How did you work that out? I had friends in school from portugal and zimbabwe but they had slight american accents because they were taught by americans before coming here. There are far more language resources from the u.s. and you have to adjust to english spelling and differences.
